Have You Ever “Divorced” a Friend?

Last year, I had to excommunicate a toxic friend, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Now, Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin are going through something very similar...

The Real Housewives of New York City stars sit down on tonight’s finale to talk about their relationship.

As Jill tries to apologize for not being there when Bethenny needed her, Jill says their estrangement is akin to a married couple breaking up.

“Well,” says a teary-eyed Bethenny, “divorce can be ugly.”

I think it’s so much harder to dump a friend than a boyfriend. But if someone is doing you more harm than good—betraying you, draining your energy, talking smack—it might be better to cut your losses and surround yourself with people who truly enrich you.

Have you ever dumped a BFF? What was the final straw? Do you think Jill and Bethenny will be besties again? Or, do you think it's better if they decide to end their friendship? Are you going to tune in tonight?
